Phone is Shutting Down - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i am using Samsung galaxy s2 with Resurrection JB 3.1.2... i tried installing the latest update which is the 3.1.3 but after that, my phone goes black and later that i know, i goes dead... then i try to power it on again then my battery goes 10% from 80% before it goes black.
then i decided to re-install again the 3.1.2 and will wait for the new update but unfortunately, the same incident occurs... i checked my battery physically and i found out that my battery is swelling..
please help me guys, i don't seem to get the problem... i dont know if it's on my battery or the rom?
Thanks for those who will reply to this post. more power to you guys!

I am now using 3.1.2 but the same problem occurs... my phone keeps on shutting down...

I know you are, I'm asking if that update version is stable.

Yeah, for me.... Because there is no major issue like this one occurred to me while using 3.1.2

how about re-flashing then?

i was in 3.1.2, then i installed 3.1.3, then there goes the problem... then i decided to go back to to 3.1.2 then, the problem still occurs...

go stock, wipe it all up and then go back to custom. That's what I would do.

What kernel you are on? Have you tried other ROM? I am trying to help you narrow down the problem. If all software on your phone give you same problem, it most likely hardware related.

You must have changed something, try to recall what did you do during ROM change process. All problems are a result of change or series of changes. That's why we have Change Management in the managing of IT systems.

at first, i just flashed the update... i then encountered an issue (acore someting? i can't remember) that's why i decided to to a full wipe (Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik).

i figured out the issue here... it's my battery, quickly bought a new one and after a burn test, the issue never occurs again... thanks for the help guys!

Good to know.
don't go bricking now.

[Q] freeze, when turning on mobile data

Hi everybody. I have one big problem with jelly bean leaks. When I flash jelly bean (Wanamlite rom) instead of ICS, sometimes it got freeze. But the problem is, the phone freeze always I try to turn on mobile data on my phone. Never have this problem with ICS. No problem with wifi internet. Only when turning on mobile data. Phone freeze during the operation of turning on. ALWAYS. Maybe someone have the same problem or know how to avoid it?
Which version are you using? Do you follow all steps?
I think reflashing may resolve the problem. Still not heard this problem so far.

i used wanamlite rom based on XXLDI5 leak. I made full wipe with all steps before. Tried XXLGI3 before, but it was the same.. I'll try once more with XXLDI7.

Anybody???
I will post a video of what it is doing.
I can access all: Download Mode & Recovery
But it's like no matter what rom i flash it freezes and crashes at startup causing a black screen.
I don't think this classifies as a hard brick cause it boots.
Anyone familiar with this and have a fix.

You're right its a soft brick , IMO i think it sounds like the 1.7 is causing the problem. Which stock are you using with Odin?

I'm using the june 2012 one from samfirmware.
try running with normal cpu clocks, 1512/384 and see if that helps
also, try booting without any external sd card, and, also, pull battery for 5 minutes and see if that helps
Fixed. Please lock and delete.
Excellent,
What did you find ?
Odin back to 2.3.6 and than Kies to 4.0.4

[Q] Why so problematic?

I've been searching the forum but I cannot figure this out.
My International Galaxy Player 5:
Model: YP-G70
ROM: Stock XXKPL
Kernel: Rumirand's R14
Firmware: 2.3.6 Gingerbread
Launcher: Xperia S
Rooted: Yes
Inevitably, after the device being on for an hour or so, the camera starts malfunctioning. By that I mean it either doesn't load up completely (only black screen + status bar, in landscape mode on top of that) or I take one pic and then the touch screen doesn't respond, requiring a hard boot.
Also, after being powered on for an hour or longer (seems to be a trend here), the device won't wake up or respond, forcing me to hard boot it.
The SD Card reader also randomly convinces itself that by some odd chance that the SD card has been unexpectedly removed, forcing me to hard boot it.
I should also note that I've noticed when the camera is having it's fit, misbehaving, so too does PowerAmp; it won't launch either.
Most of these issues are more frequent, if not caused by, with the Xperia S launcher.
Now my question to you is...why? Why all of these problems?
That's weird. Are those problems of yours disappear afterwards? I sometimes have problems with the camera, but after awhile it disappears, or appears after several weeks or so.

These problems are very consistent, averaging 1.5 times a day actually. It's quite a hindrance to constantly have to reboot.
Oh! I forgot one other problem: sometimes, recently, when connecting my aux cable, PowerAmp won't auto-play like it usually does. No big deal but I'm just saying. All of these little problems really add up to an unhappy time!
Did this problems appear before or after you rooted and flashed custom kernel? You can try reinstalling stock fw, kernel and root, and see if that will help...

Well, I have the stock fw/ROM/Build of GINGERBREAD.XXKPL but I need to know what the stock kernel is. Also, are you advising to unroot the device as well? I can't tell.
Update: Okay so apparently the device is acting up quite a lot today! While listening to music with PowerAmp through Aux the device wouldn't respond to waking the screen at all. Yet, it was playing music just fine. This tells me that it wasn't accepting any input but could output just fine. I wonder what causes this..Right now in the past 1 hour it has needed me to hard boot it 3 times!
What could be the problem?
Im suggesting you to reinstall stock fw, then install rj14, and root.. but before that, have you tried going back to factory settings?

If by factory settings you mean "Factory Data Reset" in CWRecovery menu then yes. All the time with each new flash.
I was fairly certain I've been reinstalling the stock ROM but not sure about the kernel! I really would like to take this back to stock settings. I've tried by myself but maybe I'm locating the wrong ROM and stuff.
Would someone be so kind as to link me to the stock ROM and Kernel please? Thanks!

Thanks but that link is broken, it isn't pointing to any specific thread. Also, I know how to check my current kernel but I wasn't asking for that. Unless I'm misunderstanding of course. I'm actually looking for the stock kernel so I can download it.

Thanks. I'll just keep my eyes peeled and work on this sometime possibly tonight. For now I'll backup apps.
By the way, has anyone ever heard of Xperia S Launcher causing any of my problems? Wondering if it's related or causing my grief.
if you flash the stock firmware through odin, you will have stock rom and kernel

Personally, I think you have bad hardware - consistent, unique problems even on stock. If you aren't overclocking, then the only thing that would force you to reboot that often is malfunctioning hardware.

Okay so KPL is YP-G70's Stock and not KPF? Thanks, I'm going to flash this with Odin and hope for the best!
Update: Flashed this ROM:
Firmware: 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXKPL
So am I back on stock everything now?

I seriously believe it's a hardware issue as well. My samsung warrantee is still in effect and I might just use it. I will decide after even more stock rom and kernel testing. I assume I need to put the device back to stock settings to send to samsung lol.
Any update on issues?

I have been having the exact same problems you listed ever since I bought my device, (especially where the SD card randomly unmounts, which drives me absolutely CRAZY.) I was wondering if you ever found a solution to your problems?
Sidenote: I only experienced these problems when using the stock ROM. I started using CM9, and all the issues except for the unmounted SD card stopped occurring, (SD card unmount issue was way less frequent.) My device went haywire one day, so I had to flash a Stock kernel back onto the device, and all of the problems reappeared. Have you experienced the same frequency of issues using any other ROMs?

These problems never went away and I've set the device aside for now. I reinstalled stock ROM and kernel (I think), and am waiting for the problems to reoccur before shipping it off to samsung.
Honestly the best ROM for the device might have been Chip's. But its such a ugly ROM so I went to stock and wanted to monitor the device a bit further.

[Q] I777 crashes

At least once a day or more, I pick up my phone and it's crashed. Does anyone else have this happen? I've used two different Samsung batteries, so I don't think it's the battery. I'm running the lastest version of SuperNexus .

Stock 4.0.4 is known to cause shutdowns, but that is obviously not your problem. To see if it is a firmware problem instead of a hardware problem, you should flash a different firmware, or a stock firmware, or both, and observe for a few days to see if you still have issues.

This is a known issue with 4.0.4. Probably the best solution is either to go back to an earlier version of stock, or to install a custom firmware. Unfortunately this means you'll have to flash something.
If you want to go back to stock 4.0.3, the easiest way would be to use the one-click downloader. Go to the Download Repository (link in my sig) and it is the very bottom item on the page.
If you are unfamiliar with procedures, please do a little study first to understand what you need to do, then ask if you still need help.

Camera error

Okay, so basically this problem first occurred a few days ago. Whenever I open my camera app it says error. I have this on several ROMs. Right now I'm on Epsilon Project and I got the problem once again.
Maybe the solution is to go back to stock and then flash ROMs again.. I'd be very pleased if someone can help me out.
